Gotta disagree. Those trailers for The Dark Knight were incredible, and made me ridiculously excited. I lost count of how often I watched them. What was ingenious about them was how much of the film's tone they conveyed, while giving away very little of the plot.

This trailer was great, and of course The Dark Knight Rises remains my #1 most anticipated movie of 2012...

But I think Prometheus has had the better trailers. While anything Batman is gonna be my most hyped by default, the superiority of those mind-blowing Prometheus trailers have made it a surprisingly close second.

I was thinking the same thing. Except Prometheus is my #1 most anticipated film this year.

Care to be more specific about what "post-production" means?
And also how only the two things you listed would be turning point for you to not like an entire film.

By post production i was referring to both the image and sound manipulation after filming. The shots of Bane in particular seem altered to make him appear whiter, and his voice in the prologue was far more raw, interesting and fitting IMO. To me he looks too small and very fake or something.

I like Nolan/Pfister films for their gritty realism, and something just seems off. The story looks cool I guess. Its really a combination of a lot of little things I dont have the energy to write up. I have been so gung ho about this, not a hater at all. Everything we've seen has been great.

I wish they just kept the chant for the title card the music was so empowering just when we see Gordon back up and the batpod..then a remix kicks in! Atleast that won't happen in-film.

So very much of what we have seen feels very much ON..but something I can't quite put my finger on feels off..I think it'll all work out..and it could just be that this is all so different to BB/TDK and we are so close to what could be one of the few classic trilogies ever..or a dud. Seeing Catwoman and Bats fight together..so cool but seems weird.

Luckily that's all I'm watching from here on out. I'll rewatch the trailer but no tv spots. I think that's whats happening tbh...watch one trailer..feel the movies going one way and make a bond to that idea..next trailer is so different its jarring..and so it goes on..then in your mind you build up a movie..you see it an go "wait..that's not how I saw it"..its what I did with TDK and it took away from first viewing.

I don't think that's controversial. And I agree but I think the subject of Prometheus, the fact that it's science fiction makes it easier for it. I don't think it's fair to compare them.

My favorite trailer is and always will be TDK trailer 2. "HIT ME!!!" That moment I had to pick my jaw up from the floor. Nothing in any of the trailers for theses films since has caused that strong of a reaction. Interestingly enough that take wasn't used in TDK and it pulls me out of the scene everytime how much weaker the scene is without that particular take.

Funny you should say that because in response to all these Avengers/TDKR comments I've always maintained that Nolan probably wants to top Prometheus instead. The third trailer starts off quite sombre, reminds me of the trailers for Prometheus, that's the film we should be comparing this to.

From an editing/impact perspective, I think that one and this new one are the highlights.

i am an insane huge fan of big epic trailers with choir music. but this trailer .....i dont know how to explain it. it works . its so calm and the build up is pefect in the middle to the end.
its a very good trailer.

I've noticed the improvements in The Bat chasing the Tumbers/Truck' shot:

1. The Bat is much more stable.

2. It is now firing at the truck.

3. The green trees (forests of outer Pittsburgh) in the background are gone, replaced by more buildings.

i agree . they fixed some of the bounced look so its good. thumbs up.

of course now the problem is that they spend more time and money fixing the practical batwing . it would be cheaper to render. and you know that Nolan has an eye for realism. but no problem. i dont want to complain and money in this thread.

I know I'm late to this shindig but I loved the trailer. Loved the quietness and foreboding at the beginning. This trailer really built a sense of dread and desperation. The reason people don't feel as excited after it as the Avengers trailer is because the Avengers trailer hit you with action shot after action shot... this one hits you with darker hopelessness and emotional tension. Which made me PUMPED to see this movie because the mood of the trailer just screams BATMAN to me.

You can think what ever you want with why people are not liking The Dark Knight Rises trailers that helps you sleep at night

When people say that they like the Prometheus trailers over The Dark Knight trailers thats not all action after action is it ? People do have a tendency to come up with any excuse they can think of. When other less action filled trailers are liked more then The Dark Knight Rises & The Avengers
